Dunmore's Carra picked for State Farm 3-point championship

Dunmore product Lauren Carra will have a lot to live up to when she takes part in the State Farm College Slam Dunk & 3-Point Championships, scheduled Thursday at 7 p.m. at Georgia Institute of Technology's McCamish Pavilion in Atlanta.

The University of Delaware senior is the fourth player from the Lackawanna League to be selected to participate in the event, which is a precursor to the men's Final Four this weekend in Atlanta.

Abington Heights' product Amber Jacobs won the competition in 2004. Another former Lady Comet, Becky Burke, was the runner-up a year ago. Western Wayne's Rachelle Racht also participated in the shootout in 1996.

Carra hit 43 3-pointers this year for the Blue Hens and was the team's second-leading scorer. Her 171 3-pointers places her second on Delaware's all-time list.
